Program Overview
Weekend Chinese Arts Program
To help students pursue systematic Chinese learning on weekends while choosing distinctive courses based on their interests and developmental needs, the school offers a “1+2N” weekend learning model.
1. What Is “1+2N”?
1 = One-hour core Chinese course2N = Two student-selected enrichment courses, one hour each
Each weekend session therefore totals three hours:
| Course Component | Learning Time | Course Content |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | Core Chinese course | |
| 1 hour | First student-selected enrichment course | |
| 1 hour | Second student-selected enrichment course | |
| Total | 3 hours | Chinese + two distinctive enrichment courses |
This model ensures stable, systematic Chinese learning every week while giving students ample freedom to personalize their learning according to their interests, strengths, and developmental needs.
2. “1” — Core Chinese Course
Each Weekend Chinese Arts Program session includes one hour of core Chinese instruction.
Students are placed and taught according to age, Chinese foundation, and actual learning ability, with an emphasis on developing:
Listening · Speaking · Reading · Writing
Course content includes Chinese characters, vocabulary, reading, reading aloud, oral expression, writing, and Chinese culture.
Through sustained, systematic learning, students gradually expand character recognition and vocabulary, improve Chinese reading, comprehension, and expression, and establish stable long-term learning habits.
3. “N” — Distinctive Enrichment Courses
“N” represents the school’s diverse enrichment offerings.
Students independently select two courses based on their interests, strengths, and learning needs.
| N Enrichment Course | Main Learning Content |
|---|---|
| Calligraphy | Chinese character writing, basic calligraphy techniques, traditional calligraphy culture, and brush calligraphy. |
| Chinese Mathematics | Mathematical knowledge, calculation methods, word problems, mathematical thinking, and mathematical vocabulary and expression in Chinese. |
| Reading Aloud | Through reading Chinese poems, essays, fairy tales, and other literary works, students improve Mandarin expression, language sense, Chinese comprehension, and expressive ability. |
| Public Speaking | Language organization, themed expression, public speaking, and confidence building. |
| Performance | Fairy tales, skits, kuaibanshu storytelling, sanjuban, and short plays. |
| Singing | Chinese songs, rhythm training, musical expression, and Chinese language learning. |
| Chinese Instruments | Learn Chinese musical instruments, including the dizi, erhu, and more. |
| Chinese Short Drama | Rehearse, film, and produce Chinese children’s short plays, fairy-tale plays, and idiom-story plays. |
| Martial Arts | Basic martial arts and boxing forms. |
| Visual Arts | Sketching, quick drawing, watercolor, Chinese painting, and handcraft making. |
4. How Do Students Choose Courses?
One core Chinese course + two student-selected N enrichment courses
Chinese + Calligraphy + Public SpeakingChinese + Reading Aloud + PerformanceChinese + Singing + Visual ArtsChinese + Martial Arts + Visual Arts
Students can combine courses according to their interests and learning needs.
This approach preserves Chinese as a systematic core course while giving students with different personalities, interests, and developmental directions their own course combinations.
5. Three Daily Weekend Time Slots
To help families plan their weekends, the school offers three daily time slots, each lasting three hours.
| Time Slot | Class Time | Hour 1 | Hour 2 | Hour 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Core Chinese | N Course ① | N Course ② |
| Afternoon | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Core Chinese | N Course ① | N Course ② |
| Evening / Flexible Class | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Core Chinese | N Course ① | N Course ② |
- Each time slot is three hours long.
- Families may choose a suitable time slot and two N courses according to weekend schedules, student interests, and learning needs.
- Students who occasionally need to miss a daytime class for personal reasons may request one schedule adjustment per month to attend the Evening / Flexible Class.

6. “1+2N” Course Examples
Example 2: Another student in the same time slot selects Reading Aloud and Performance.
| Time | Course |
|---|---|
| 9:00 – 10:00 | Core Chinese Course |
| 10:00 – 11:00 | N① Reading Aloud |
| 11:00 – 12:00 | N② Performance |
Different students can complete systematic Chinese learning together while choosing distinct developmental directions based on their interests.
7. Features of the “1+2N” Model
One Hour — Build a Strong Chinese Foundation
Core Chinese remains central regardless of the chosen enrichment courses. Long-term, continuous study helps students establish a strong language foundation.
Two N Courses — Respect Children’s Interests
Every child has different interests and strengths. Students choose two courses from multiple N options so learning genuinely fits their interests and developmental needs.
Three Hours — Systematic Learning and Exploration Together
Each three-hour session combines systematic Chinese learning with two enrichment courses, making weekend study focused, varied, and efficient.
1 hour of Chinese + 2 student-selected courses = 3 hours of multidimensional growth
- “1” is the foundation — systematic Chinese learning.
- “N” is choice — discovering each child’s interests.
- “2N” is growth — giving every child a personal learning combination.
Through the “1+2N” model, weekend learning becomes a multidimensional space integrating Chinese, language expression, Chinese culture, arts, physical activity, and creativity rather than a single classroom experience.
Children build foundations through Chinese, discover interests through choice, and develop confidence and strengths through rich course experiences.
8. 1+N Short Class
The 1+N Short Class is a compact two-hour weekend option for students who want systematic Chinese study together with one distinctive enrichment course.
Each session includes one hour of core Chinese and one hour of a student-selected N enrichment course.
1 hour of core Chinese + 1 selected N course = 2 hours of focused learning
Time Options
| Time Slot | Class Time | Hour 1 | Hour 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM | Core Chinese | N Course |
| Afternoon | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM | Core Chinese | N Course |
| Evening / Flexible Class | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM | Core Chinese | N Course |
- Each Short Class session is two hours long.
- Students select one N course from the enrichment courses offered that term.
- Students who occasionally need to miss a daytime class for personal reasons may request one schedule adjustment per month to attend the Evening / Flexible Class.
